Abstract: Methods and compositions for coloring keratinous substrates, such as mammalian hair and in particular human hair, use oxidative dye precursors comprising pyrazole primaries and couplers, and solubilized vat dyes. The methods and compositions improve the wash fastness of hair color produced by oxidative dyes, wherein one or more of the oxidative dyes are derived from oxidative dye precursors comprising a pyrazole primary and a coupler.

Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic keratin fibers, the multicomponent composition comprising first, second, third and fourth components. The first component includes an organic polymer, the second component includes an in situ linking material, the third component includes a base compound and the fourth component includes a catalyst or other substance. One or more of the components includes pigment microparticles. The multicomponent composition in situ links upon application, forms a solid coating on treated material such as hair and has a substantially long color remanence following development. Methods of using such compositions are also described herein.
